Finance Transformation Senior Consultant

Finance Transformation team sits within our growing Business Transformation Consulting practice and we have an exciting opportunity for an experienced individual to join us.

Over the last few years, we have seen a change in the work that traditional back‑office functions, like Finance, deliver and how it is delivered. CFOs face increasing complexity and an ever‑changing business environment. They are tasked with driving enterprise performance, participating in strategic direction and growth, whilst also running an effective and efficient finance function. This has accelerated how Finance operates and resulted in the need for Finance to become more agile, streamlined, and efficient, enabling the delivery of more accurate, reliable and insightful financial information.

Here at RSM, we partner with CFOs to design and implement future‑ready Finance operating models. We take the time to understand our clients’ business, their vision and needs. We evaluate and deploy pragmatic solutions that elevate their teams, enhance their effectiveness, and enable them to better serve their businesses while modernising their digital footprint.

You will make an impact by:

• Working closely with clients to establish trust and credibility quickly to build effective relationships.
• Being a team player with a ‘can do’ attitude, collaborating and exchanging ideas for the best solutions.
• Acting as a problem solver, creative thinker, and self‑starter who is organised, proactive and inquisitive; having prior involvement in Transformation projects and demonstrating the value delivered.
• Managing a team and juggling multiple deadlines.
• Contributing to client proposals and presentations, being a trusted advisor to work closely with clients in identifying, analysing, and solving their business challenges.

What we’re looking for:

• Finance qualification (e.g. ACA, ACCA, CIMA, AAT) – desirable but not essential.
• Solid & demonstrable PQE experience with an established portfolio of work experience, ideally within a professional services environment.
• Strong academic record, preferably with a relevant or business‑focused degree (finance, accounting, business management, or data analytics).
• Good understanding of finance processes and best practice across FP&A, R2R, P2P, O2C.
• Ability to use knowledge of ‘good practice’ to identify process gaps, analyse the impact and work with senior team members to propose solutions.
• Experience working in cross‑functional project teams, managing stakeholders, and driving change in complex environments.
• Strong project management skills, with some experience delivering transformation initiatives on time and within budget.
• Good written, oral and presentation skills, able to explain complex ideas to non‑technical stakeholders and influence at all levels.
• Good client relationship management skills.
• Team player, able to work in virtual and independent contexts.
• Proactive, organised, and self‑motivated.
• High proficiency in MS Office (Excel, PowerPoint).
• Demonstrate and operate in line with RSM’s core values of excellence, teamwork, integrity, respect and stewardship.

What we can offer you:

• Hybrid and flexible working.
• 26 days holiday (with option to purchase additional days).
• Lifestyle, health and wellbeing benefits, including financial wellbeing tools, electric car scheme and access to a virtual GP.
• Access to a suite of 300+ courses on demand developed by our in‑house Talent Development team.

Diversity and Inclusion at RSM

At RSM, we want to create a strong sense of belonging so that people of all identities, backgrounds, and cultures feel they can bring their true self to work. We aim to achieve that same diversity of background, experience and perspective in our own teams so that we can genuinely understand our client’s needs.
